ADMIN WEBHOSTING DEVELOPMENT

Here we will discuss the easiest step to migrate large cPanel accounts (one with a lot of files in home folder), assuming that the database size is normal.
First login to the old server and take the backup skipping the home directory.

/scripts/pkgacct --skiphomedir UN

This process should complete in no time. Once the backup is generated, copy the file to the new server using your convenient method. ( wget or scp or FTP)
On the new server restore the files using the command.

/scripts/restorepkg UN

After the account is restored, make sure to rsync the homefolder using the below command.

rsync -e ssh -avvz --progress root@IP_ADDRESS:/home/UN /home/

NOTE : Make sure that " / " in the above command is put correctly.
